Publisher's Synopsis
Per Jesum Christum Or Two Good Fridays: A Story For Children is a book written by Francis Browning D. Bickerstaffe Drew and published in 1881. The book is a story for children that revolves around the theme of sacrifice and redemption. The story is set in the early days of Christianity and follows the lives of two young boys, Marcus and Julian, who are friends but come from very different backgrounds. Marcus is a Christian and Julian is a pagan.The story begins on Good Friday, a day of great significance for Christians, and follows the two boys as they witness the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The events of that day have a profound effect on both boys, but in very different ways. Marcus is deeply moved by the sacrifice of Jesus and becomes even more committed to his faith, while Julian is confused and troubled by what he has seen.The story then jumps forward to another Good Friday, several years later, and the boys are now young men. Marcus has become a priest, and Julian is a soldier in the Roman army. They meet again, and their lives intersect in a way that forces Julian to confront his doubts and ultimately leads him to embrace Christianity.The book is written in a simple and accessible style, making it suitable for children. It is also a powerful and moving story that will appeal to readers of all ages. The themes of sacrifice, redemption, and faith are universal and timeless, and the book offers a valuable lesson for all who read it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
